LCAT serves as a national resource center for those actively working in Hispanic/Latino tobacco prevention and control as well as others interested in learning more, including policymakers and the media. LCAT offers a comprehensive menu of quality products and services, including data, materials, speakers, training and technical assistance.

The availability of a national resource center is significant in offering the field “one-stop-shopping” for quality products and services to support its work. By offering these same products and services to all, it provides a public service and helps build knowledge and support for the field’s work. The existence of a national resource center dedicated to Hispanic/Latino tobacco prevention and control conveys the importance of the issue and elevates it nationally.
